Biography

My training, job experience, and research interests are in the field of computational mathematics. Roughly speaking, computational mathematics is using computers to solve large-scale math problems arising in science and engineering applications. An example is using computer simulations to predict coastal ocean flows.

Before coming to UNK in the Spring of 2023, I taught at Florida Tech. Prior to that, I worked at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), a Department of Energy lab in California, and at the Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering (ICASE) at NASA Langley.
